if I get the right cables for it does this also work for garageband in ipad???
@@inez.sousa17 I think it can work. But I don't have an iPad so im not sure
Dónde descargargaste la aplicación y como se llama la App??
The app is GarageBand and it is preinstalled on every apple device
This was clear as water, no unnecessary intros of people just talking and talking non-stop. Your video is amazingly easy to follow, straight to the point and I love the visuals. THANK YOU!!! 🎶💜
Thank you, I really appreciate it :)
I needed this in my life 2 years ago. This was SO much simpler and more relaxing than the other Million tutorials I tried to learn from! LOL.
Thank you I really appreciate it :)

super like, short video, usefull, easy ans soon to apply
Thank you, I really appreciate it :)
Great Tutorial!!!
Thanks :)
Nice explanation. Thanks
Thanks! Appreciate it :)
@@vinc88 this video deserves many more views. I have watched a lot of videos with high view rates and long durations but none of them explained what is exactly going on.( Which cable plugs where, what kind of software are you using, how do you record etc.)
Check out my latest piano cover using this recording method! ua-cam.com/video/cJLFjElTIR8/v-deo.html
Nice and simple explanation. Can this also be done with guitars? what about recording acoustic instruments with microphones?
Hi! Great video! I have a question though, do you need headphones in order to hear what you'e playing? Or does it automatically come out of the pianos speakers regardless of the USB? Thank you!
The sound from garageband you choose comes from the laptop , so you listen to the speakers of the laptop or use headphones while playing
If you turn piano speakers on you hear the original roland sound. But not the chosen midi sound
But for me the midi piano sound and Roland piano sound is all piano so i often listen to the speakers of the piano. But sometimes i use headphones
Buen video! Gracias
De nada :)
I’m thinking of recording my future videos with GarageBand with my Yamaha P-115 soon :) btw beautiful music it reminds of “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” by Meghan Trainer 😊
Thanks :)
@@vinc88 what is the difference between this and putting an USB stick to get a midi file?
Yes you can also use an USB stick!
I prefer a cable, because of the instant info/feedback on my laptop.
Hi! This was so helpful thank you! Your audio sounds great, I'm having issues with my sustain pedal not being recorded with the midi, it just sounds as if I'm not using sustain, how were you able to get that sound?
That is very unusual, normally it automatically detects the sustain pedal. Maybe somewhere in the settings, but im not sure to be honest.
Thank you for watching :)
Thank you ❤

Nice work. Beautiful. Can you help with a setting for flute recording?
I don’t have experience recording flute. Thanks a lot for watching :)
Nice tutorial...
But if you playback the song that i had recorded.. Where the audio 🔉 will be played back?
The laptop speakers or the piano speakers?
Very helpful. How about to mix with a video when playing?
Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching :)
You can also connect it via bluetooth, no cable needed , tutorial on how to do that is here: ua-cam.com/video/OQxgPhWDkD0/v-deo.html
Hey man, great video, thank you! I wanted to ask you if it’s possible to play REAL-TIME different sounds than what FP-30X provides via VST into a DAW for example. I am sure there are better sounds out there than what FP-30X has available, that’s why I am looking into this. Lastly, will the audio be output from the monitors connected to the computer or do the monitors have to be connected to the FP-30X directly?
Yes if you connect your macbook to your piano with a midi cable you hear the sound real time from whatever instrument/sound you chose. But the sound comes from the laptop not from the speakers of the piano.
Your macbook only has to be connected to your piano with a midi cable.
Thanks for watching :)
@@vinc88 thank you for this sir very helpful!
Yes, if you're crazy, you can use a headless raspberry pi that takes MIDI input and then plays the audio on the piano speakers.
We’ll try
Isn't bluetooth midi supported with roland fp-30? Is the cable necessary? I'm so confused cause I thought whole purpose of bluetooth midi is that you can record wireless.
Thanks! Now please teach us to insert and synchronize that MP3 within a video!
I have a Yamaha PSR e423. I needed to download and install the MIDI drivers for this to work. Just FYI ;)
nice video, do you get the sound of garage band into the internal speakers of your piano?
Thanks for watching :)
Normally I play the piano listening to the sound of the digital piano speakers. I haven’t tried to use the piano speakers for garageband sounds yet. But that might also be possible
Precise and to the point, thank you. Can you do a windows one?
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it! I have never tried it on windows yet. But maybe in the future :)
Yes. Reaper free + a free HD VST like Spitfire grand piano. And a free video editing software too if you want to make a video.
Thanks for the vid :)
Can you let me know what is the name of the song/piece you were playing?
Thanks for watching!
It’s improvised
thanks
Thanks for watching :)
thanks for the video. one question, can your record the sound of the actual FP 10 in an MP3 file?
if so how is it done?
Thanks
If you want the actual sound of the digital piano you can try using a 3.5mm aux cable.
I made a video about it on my channel
Question here!
The sound using musical typing is slightly different from using a keyboard even when I both selected Steinway piano!
Thank u sm for this video very informative 💕✨
Also is there a way we can get the exact audio sound of the digital piano like more of an original audio file and not computarised sound?
Thanks a lot for watching!
Yes you can also record your digital piano with an aux cable. I made a video about it on my channel :)
Hey there, thanks for the quick and easy explanation! Is there a way to keep the original sound of the keyboard but still record a midi file at the same time? I would like to record the original sound
Yes! You can record the original sound through a 3.5mm cable.
Just press record also on the digital piano before you play your song.
Later you can press replay and record the replay through a 3.5mm cable
Thanks for watching :)
@vinc88 thanks for your answer! But can u record the original sound and midi at the same time? Do you mean that I can press record at the piano and play my stuff while having the midi cable plugged in and recording midi simultaneously?
Yes you can have a midi file and an mp3 file of the same piece
Step 1 press record on garageband to record the midi and also press record on your digital piano to record the original sound
Step 2 play your song
Step 3 now you have your midi you can safe that
Step 4 you can now connect your piano through a 3.5mm cable.
Step 6 press play button on your piano while press record on audacity
@vinc88 awesome, thank you so much! I love your style of explaining things, a little checklist straight to the point!
Thanks for your help :)
What software can I use for Windows to record the midi? also do you know if this would work with Yamaha P105 piano as well?
I have only used GarageBand, so I'm not sure what's the best software for windows,
This should work with any digital piano with midi capabilities.
Thanks for watching
Hey, does the recorded midi data need quantization or will it run the performance at its original tempo? And would you record in audio using the usb input? I cant find your video about recording audio direct in computer. Thanks.
Yes the recorded midi data will run the original tempo. You could adjust it but you don’t have to.
you can also use a 3.5mm audio cable.
How to record audio on the Roland FP-30 in a few easy steps
ua-cam.com/video/tlFTZrPut0s/v-deo.html
does it have any latency (because of not using sound card) ?
Thx for the Video, But what about the audio?
really a big thanks
but i want to ask a question what's the app called?
I use GarageBand for recording the midi
And for editing my videos I use vegas pro
@@vinc88 really so hopefull
But garage band is for piano right?
does yamaha ydp 144 work pianoteq keyscape ? what should i get can i change the piano sound i want keyscape or pianoteq yamaha ydp 144 i am thinking of buying it
Is GarageBand available on Windows? I couldn’t find it!
If not, any recommended user friendly and easy app!?
I transfer MIDI sounds on a USB to my PC, but I don’t know how to convert this MIDI to a piano sound next!
Thank you
I don’t have experience with other midi recording software, only GarageBand.
But maybe for windows you can try it on the trial version of FL Studio. Or maybe try LMMS (linux Multimedia software) Or you can try Cakewalk.
This video is clear and I have understood but I am new in this world so I don't get some things (that could be evident for you).
How recording a video but with sound only coming from the piano and matching the video ???
Do I need to create this midi document like in the tutorial? If so, then what is the following step ?
I do not need only an mp3.
I want record video's with better audio quality (like the piano sound in yours).
I hope you understand 😅. Thanks
Thank you for watching,
You can record the midi like in this video and export to mp3 file.
When you record the midi also record yourself playing with a camera.
Later in post you can synchronize the audio with the video. (I also made a video about how to do that on my channel)
You put your audio and video together in your video editing software.
@@vinc88
Thank you very much.
Keep it up 💯
i actually want to record with the original sound of my Roland FP10 withot using VST or anything like this. Is that possible if yes what kind of equipment i need for recording with the original sound on a computer ?
If you want the original sound you can use an aux cable. I made a video about it too
Thank you for watching :)
How to record audio on the Roland FP-30 in a few easy steps
ua-cam.com/video/tlFTZrPut0s/v-deo.html
hi there. i have a problem. can i use my digital piano(Roland fp30) speakers as an audio output for daw(cubase/cakewalk)?
it works as a midi player to plays sounds from VSTs but the audio of digital piano itself is also playing, so they layer together.
and if i turn the volume down to zero on my digital piano,then it won't play any sound at all.
Thanks for watching! I have never used Cubase/Cakewalk so im not sure how to.
I personally like to use headphones
Hello, I would like to record a Midi File on my PC (Windows) then I would like to transfer this Midi File on an Ipad to open it with GarageBand (because I haven't a MacBook), it will allow me to convert it easly to mp3. Did you think it could work? Thanks!
It could work, but im not sure. I have never used an Ipad before. Maybe you can find a cable to directly connect your Ipad to your piano. Good luck and thank you for watching :)
Can i change my sound of my piano on this software ? I hate the deeper tones on my yamaha p125 and also the settings sound on the piano.
Yes when you record the midi you can choose the sound you want. There are also many settings to adjust it
Thanks for watching :)
Does it also take into consideration the sustain pedal ?
Yes that information is also recorded.
Thank you for watching :)
I don't have garageband. But i found one midi recorder which is signal vercel app.
However, i noticed that when i play soft or hard, it does not catch that. There is an expression tab wherein i manually make the sound either soft or louder. It very tiring.
Can you confirm that garageband does catch dynamics and expressions to your playing? Or still needed to be tweaked?
I didn’t tweak anything, it also records how hard you press the key. I never edit my recodings. Only sometimes I add a little reverb. Thank you for watching :)
@@vinc88is the electric piano also a factor? Like it's a good brand, it will also relay to garageband? I'm thinking it might be my cheap ass electric piano though its graded hammer action, its a local cheap brand. So, I'm expecting the results in garageband might still be bad because of my electric piano 😢😢😢
@@Raine_Daily It could be. I use a Roland fp-30, but I have never tried this on any other digital piano, so im not sure to bet honest.
👏👏👏
I need your help. I plugged my Digital piano on my REAPER DAW. But still i still hear the sound of the original keyboard although my keyboard is detected on my Daw already
my sustain pedal gives away way too much reverb that it hurts in my ears. How can I set it up that it gives only a little of sustain (long notes)?
Hey I have yamaha p225. I want to record original piano sound of my keyboards. How can I do that instead of using steinway grand piano. Please help
If you want to record the original sound of your digital piano you can use a 3.5mm aux cable. I made another tutorial on my channel.
Thanks a lot for watching :)
does garageband provide for free, such good audio quality of piano sound which you have shown here??
Yes :)
and can you record the internal roland piano sound directly too?🤔 jack to pc jack
Yes you can also record the internal sound if you use an 3.5mm aux cable. I also made a video about that method.
This uses garage band's grand piano sound, right? How do i record the original sound of my digital piano though?
If you want the original sound of the piano you can use a 3.5mm aux cable
I made a video about it on my channel :)
Does it also records touch sensitive keyboards?? and does it work in windows??
Thanks for watching :)
Yes the midi also records how hard you press a note.
I have never tried this with windows yet so im not sure
what’s a good piano program to use
I have a question, i i connect to midi the audio of the daw can still come out of the speakers of the piano?
I normally just listen to the speakers of the piano. However the sound you hear is just the sound of the digital piano and not the daw.
But maybe its possible im not sure.
Thanks for watching :)
How do you use the music recorded on midi over a video you take of you playing the piano. Would you just record yourself playing whilst recording audio through midi then edit the audio over the sound irl ?
Yes. You record with a smartphone.
In the video editing software you then align the smartphone mic audio and the MIDI rendered audio. Then you mute the microphone audio.
It's fairly quick and easy.
Once I went berzerk with OBS studio, manually configuring the delay between a webcam video and jack piano audio output. Too much effort, unless you want to actually stream.
Making a video and recording a perfectly played piece requires so much more work that spending 10 minutes to manually change the audio track in the editing software isn't much of an issue.
Hi! Is there a way to use this with a mobile device? IPad/IPhone? If you can i’m wondering if using a lightning to USB could work?
I have never tried that before so im not sure
Thanks for watching :)
Yes. You need an Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. Buy the Apple at $39, not the knock off brands for much less. You will also need a USB A to B cable to connect the Adapter to your piano. The cable is the same, or similar, to the one commonly used to connect your printer; prices range from $5 to $1,000. I would recommend something under $25. Check your specs to determine whether you need a 2.0 or 3.0 cable. I have a 9th generation iPad which requires a 2.0 cable. Cable lengths vary; buy the shortest length available that easily connects the two devices.
My macbook is old and is not compatible with the new version of garageband, is there a difference in sound between using mobile garageband and a macbook?
I have never tried it on a phone so im not sure
Can this method work with any kind of keyboard? Like a Casio WK 3000?
Any keyboard with an midi output
It works with most keyboards
Thanks for watching :)
@@vinc88 So an interface isn’t required? There must be something wrong with my GarageBand then, because It won’t record a track when I press record.
I have quick question, I do have a Yamaha p45 with the same the midi cord will I be able to hear the piano play out loud too while I’m recording? And thank you very much for this as this was the most simplest way of tutorial
Yes that’s possible. If you turn on volume you will hear the piano.
Thank you so much for your comment I really appreciate it :)
@@vinc88hello I have one more question and that the song you played in this tutorial what is the song called and thank you.
@@EpicBanksThe piano song is improvised
@@vinc88 wait so you made that song yourself? Or is the song called improvised and if so by who?
@EpicBanks i made myself for background music :)
Do i nees 3.0 Cabel or 2.0 cabel?
The music is great. What is this particular piece of piano called?
It was a bit improvisation, thanks a lot I really appreciate it :)
Could you share the notes for all of is who are wondering. I know its a ask. But will really appreciate it. Thanks.
@nripeshregmi1620 I am sorry I couldn’t find the midi anymore I think i lost it.
Does this work for iPad? And if I connect sustain pedal to my keyboard will it give the same effect while recording??
I have never tried It on an iPad so I'm not sure.
I also use my sustain pedal and GarageBand will pick it up when you play the piano.
Thanks for watching :)
Thanks 😊
I’m having a hard time with GarageBand not recognizing my Yamaha ypg-535 piano. I have the toggle that converts the usb into C port since Mac changed their charging port again! 😠 Ive tried using my Cubase software and hooking it up via the larger cords (for guitars and pianos) and that used to work on my old Mac and is how I used to record. And ive tried direct usb to host with the toggle connector and it isn’t registering at all. :(
Is there something I’m missing?
I don’t know that is really strange, maybe the usbc converter/toggle isn’t functioning properly.
I hope you find a solution
Thank you for watching
@@vinc88 I finally figured it out! I just had to allow GarageBand to use the mic 😅 thanks for the quick reply
Thats great to hear :)
I have a p125a, i followed the steps as you menioned. However the garage band doesnt record anything. What must be going wrong?
That is very strange, maybe the cable or converter is broken, or maybe your settings in Garageband. Also Make sure to allow GarageBand to use the microphone. I hope you find a solution,
Thanks for watching
Hi! Can I also record the original sound of my digital piano?
Yes you can record the original through a 3.5mm aux cable. I made another video about it on my channel ua-cam.com/video/tlFTZrPut0s/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching :)
Very nice but I think something is missing . ?????? Sounds off a bit . What is missing ???
brother can you help. i dont get such clarity and depth in steinway grand piano. what did you do exactly to get the sound?
That’s really strange, I actually used the default steinway on garageband. I haven’t tweaked the sound. But maybe it sounds a bit different because I used an older version of GarageBand. Thanks a lot for watching :)
Hey Shiv - i'm having the same issue. The FP10 on it's own sounds amazing and authentic. Soon as it's connected to garageband using the Steinway option, it doesn't sounds the same. If anyone knows how that would be most helpful!!
If I dont have the cable, may I play it on roland f140r and record it on ipad garage band?
I am not sure. Because I have never used an Ipad before. Thanks for watching :)
Can I record directly from my keyboard to my iphone garageband?
I have never tried that before, but I think that’s also possible.
Thanks for watching :)
Hello, can you export this recording as midi file, not mp3?
I ussual export the midi input to mp3. Exporting as midi file should also be possible. But I haven’t tried it on garageband yet.
Thanks for watching :)
So with this can i actually play on my p45 and record it on my cpu as so if i am playing on a Steinway ?
Yes the midi records which notes you play and with how much force. Then you can decide what sound you want. You can choose steinway or a guitar or a flute. Any sound or instrument you like.
Thank you for watching :)
that's amazing! thank you and I will get me a Midi Asap!@@vinc88
is it possible to play even other instruments with pressure sensitivity ?
Yes you have many instrument options in Garageband!
@@vinc88 thanks a lot :)
Can we hear sound from piano speaker during recording in DAW
Yes, you can hear your own piano speakers.
However I hear the piano sound of my digital piano but not the sound I choose in garage band through the piano speakers.
But maybe that is also possible, I haven’t tried yet
@@vinc88 ok thanks
I have Yamaha digital piano and midi cable but there is a lag in audio while recording in garage band. How to resolve it please help
A little delay is normal I think. But I don’t know a solution if the delay is too much
Thank you for watching
Can't you record MIDI and WAV to a USB key on a FP30?
Direct PC connection is one way, but not necessarily the easiest one.
Then you record the video and put all together in post production?
Yes. You align smartphone microphone audio with the rendered audio manually.
Or you go crazy with OBS studio and setup everything for real time video + rendered MIDI audio streaming.
is there a app where I can see the notes Im hitting from my keyboard to my computer?
You can see the notes on Garageband :)
Is there a reliable link to download GarageBand for PC?
I always use my MacBook. I haven’t tried to download it on windows so im not sure.
Thanks for watching :)
HI! why when I listen to the recording it sounds as if I don't have the sustain pedal even though I hear it when I use it and while recording? :(
That’s really strange. Usually garageband records all the input of your digital piano also the sustain pedal. Maybe there re some settings that can fix the problem but im not really sure
Hey where did you get that usb extension I need it for a Mac book air
I bought it online. You can get a MacBook adapter on most sites like Amazon.
Thanks for watching :)
@@vinc88 can you please send me the link to the Usb C I can’t find it bro😂
Just type in on amazon: MacBook adapter.
I bought mine a long time ago so I don’t know the exact link.
@@vinc88 I found one that says USB B to USB C but it says for printer but do you think it fits for piano??
which software u use
I use Garageband to record the midi.
Thanks for watching :)
